This one-pot Slow Cooker Seasoned Chicken, Potatoes and Green beans has a homemade dressing/marinade and will be your new favorite healthy dinner.
If you love this one-pot meal you need to see my Garlic Butter Chicken and Veggies, that recipe has the same easy one pot meal concept as this recipe.
I’ve seen oven versions of this recipe, but most include an Italian dressing seasoning packet.
Instead of using a seasoning packet to flavor the sauce in this dish, I make a simple mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and dried seasonings.
How to make a one pot chicken dinner:
- Boneless skinless chicken breasts – Can use chicken thighs or tenders.
- Fresh green beans – Frozen works well too.
- Red Potatoes – Cut into quarters or about 1/2 inch pieces.
- Homemade Italian dressing – Super quick to make, see my recipe below.
For the homemade dressing:
- Fresh lemon juice
- Olive oil
- Oregano
- Salt and pepper
- Onion powder
- Minced garlic
Can I use lemon juice out of a squeeze bottle?
- No. This recipe isn’t the time or place to use squeeze bottle lemon juice; the recipe will taste off if you use it.
- Lemons are cheap, be sure to grab them at the store.
Can I use a different vegetable than green beans?
Yes! If you aren’t a green bean fan, then try one of these substitutes.
- Broccoli
- Asparagus
- Canned or fresh corn
- Baby carrots or sliced carrots
- Extra potatoes
Can I use the Italian dressing mix instead of making the homemade dressing?
- Yes! You can forgo all the dressing ingredients and drizzle a half cup of butter over the seasoned chicken, potatoes and green beans then sprinkle an Italian dressing mix over.
- Follow the same cooking directions below.
- You can find the Italian dressing mix on the salad dressing aisle next to the ranch dressing packets.

I am on a keto diet. Can I omit the potatoes?
Yes!
I followed this recipe exactly but it was so bland, the chicken was over cooked and tough, and my family wouldn’t eat it. I even slathered mine in butter and more seasonings but it tasted like old, overcooked green beans and the chicken was too stringy. I’m surprised it has five stars. Most recipes I make with five star reviews are new family favorites. Bummed to waste this much food in this time of expensive groceries and gas.
My step daughter swore by this recipe omitting the lemon juice all together because the littles don’t like it. Bland with over cooked chicken breasts.
I wouldn’t recommend not using lemon juice; it’s a major part of the recipe.
I made this awhile ago and the family loved it. Reading your recipe notes and read about using Italian dressing mix. So tonight I will try the dressing mix. I’m sure it will be just as good. Oh, I also tried the chicken potatoes and carrots with the garlic seasoned. That was yummy.
Followed recipe exactly, chicken was extremely dry, green beans and potatoes lacked flavor….. very disappointed and hate that all this food was wasted.
Hi Debbie, you can add your own seasoning to any dish, even if it’s finished, no need to throw it away. I’m sorry you didn’t like it.
I have this cooking now but without the green beans. I doubled the potatoes. If this okay?
Thanks!
Yes, will do fine.
Thank you for letting me know about stacking the ingredients in a 3 quart slow cooker. Is it OK to put a chicken breast on top of the other two, and will the cooking time still be the same on high if I put the chicken breasts on top of each other?
Very dry chicken, vegetables were good.
Could I use a 3 pound slow cooker? I don’t have anything larger.
A 3-quart? Yes, I think it will fit in a 3-quart, though you will have to stack everything.
Hello, I was wondering if I could do this in an instant pot?
I have not tested, I apologize. I don’t see why not though. You will have add more liquid though.
